Our take on the Global Bitoku Ukon Essentials 6-Piece Knife Set with Magnetic Block

The Global Bitoku Ukon is a six-piece knife set from Global's Bitoku line, built around forged stainless-steel blades with Global's signature all-steel handles and a magnetic bamboo block. The set covers the core kitchen tasks: a chef's knife, bread knife, utility knife, paring knife and a pair of kitchen shears, held on a magnetic block rather than slotted. It suits cooks who want a compact, hygienic countertop setup and like the seamless all-metal Global feel. Against slotted wooden blocks, the magnetic bamboo block is easier to wipe clean and takes up less depth, but the all-steel handles are slick when wet and the set skips a santoku or carving knife some rivals include.

Pros
  • Forged stainless-steel blades hold a sharp edge well
  • All-steel handles have no seams or rivets to harbor grime
  • Magnetic bamboo block is easy to wipe and saves counter depth
  • Covers chef, bread, utility and paring plus shears
  • Global's thin, light blades feel agile in hand
Cons
  • All-steel handles get slippery with wet or greasy hands
  • No santoku or carving knife in the set
  • Blades are thin and can chip if used on hard boards or bones
  • Dishwasher-safe claim is best ignored; hand washing keeps edges sharp
  • Magnetic block grips less securely than slotted blocks

Questions and answers

Is this set worth it over a cheaper block set?
If you want forged blades and seamless all-steel handles that resist grime, yes. Cheaper sets often use stamped blades and riveted handles that loosen over time.
How does it compare with Global's classic G-series knives?
The Bitoku line keeps Global's all-steel handle and thin blade profile but uses a different blade finish and a bamboo magnetic block. Cutting feel is close; the block is the main difference.
Can the knives go in the dishwasher?
They are listed as dishwasher safe, but hand washing and immediate drying protect the edge and the handle finish far better.
What is included in the six pieces?
A chef's knife, bread knife, utility knife, paring knife, kitchen shears and the magnetic bamboo block.
Will the magnetic block hold the knives securely?
It holds them flat against the surface, but magnets grip less firmly than slots. Seat each knife fully and keep the block away from ledges.
Are the handles comfortable for large hands?
The all-steel handles are slim and suit most grips, but people with large hands sometimes find them thin and prefer a heavier, contoured handle.
